Debbie Wasserman Schultz was persona non grata on the stage of the Democratic convention, but there she was in the hall on Thursday night as Hillary Clinton accepted the party’s presidential nomination.

Wasserman Schultz was due to hang up her title as Democratic National Committee chair once Clinton was done speaking, forced from her perch by scandal over leaked DNC emails purporting to undercut the campaign of Clinton rival Bernie Sanders.

Embattled Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz will not speak at the party convention this week in Philadelphia due to fallout over emails suggesting that her her organization sought to undermine Bernie Sanders’ campaign in favor of Hillary Clinton.

CNN and others reported that Democratic Party officials concluded on Saturday that Wasserman Schultz would gavel in the nominating convention in Philadelphia but would not have a speaking role.

President Barack Obama is expected to take on a tough job on Thursday — trying to ensure that millions of Bernie Sanders supporters begin falling in behind presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

It will be difficult for Clinton to defeat Donald Trump without a large number of the 12 million people who have cast primary votes so far for the independent Vermont senator.
